  Mr. RADANOVICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend and 
congratulate Chris Ebie upon his retirement as the Mariposa County 
Auditor.
  Mr. Ebie began his career with Mariposa County in September of 1987 
as Account Clerk III in the Auditor's Office. In November of 1988, he 
was promoted to Assistant Auditor. In April 2005, Mr. Ebie briefly left 
Mariposa County but returned in January 2006 as the Board-appointed 
County Auditor. In June 2007, Mr. Ebie was officially elected to the 
position of County Auditor.
  In his time with the County, Mr. Ebie worked on a number of projects, 
including coordinating efforts in assuring the County's compliance with 
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) 45, maintaining the 
County's software and budget structure and implementing the Alternative 
Measurement Method (AMM) for reporting costs and liabilities associated 
with health and other non-pension benefits for public employees.
  In addition to his service to the County, Mr. Ebie is a dedicated 
family man. Chris and his wife Grace are the proud parents of four 
children and the proud grandparents of four grandchildren.
  Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Chris Ebie for his dedicated 
service to the people of Mariposa County. I invite my colleagues to 
join me in wishing Mr. Ebie many years of continued success.
